Welcome to her money.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I have been talking a lot lately about

women with money, my most recent book, but as we were pulling together today's

show I went back I flashed back to the research

because one of the things that I did when I was trying to figure out what

actually belonged in that book was just ask a whole bunch of women, hundreds

of women, what they wanted from their money.

And one of the things that I heard again and again was this concept of legacy and that's a

word that means very different things to different people for some it charity, it's giving to causes that you believe in.

For others it's instilling values in our loved ones, making sure that they and we are remembered when we're gone and that act of

remembering is so important new data from a firm called Story Terrace shows that just one in three Americans, 34%,

which I think is a big number in this case, say that there are heroes in their family that will soon be lost because they're not being shared, they're not being talked about, they're not being documented.

Loss is not something we talk often enough about here at her money, which is one reason why I am so happy to be able to welcome today's guest to the show.
